At least would stay on but needs at least 3x dissipation area than that support chip sink has. In free air I'd start with a guess of 5 sq. inches of surface PER-CHIP.

Yea, not that size, but it should have a bar like that or screws on the corners to stay secure. You would never use JUST thermal tape on something that would smoke and burn if it fell off. You might use a tiny heat sink on something like a Pi board that just needed a little help, but could run fine without the heat sink.
